IntroductionWith S03 Voice Editor (hereafter referred to as Voice Editor), you can edit your S03 synthesizersvoices and effects via your computer. Its graphical user interface provides for easy editing bypresenting each synthesizer parameter on screen as a slider, switch, and so on, which can bemanipulated using your computers mouse or keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made to

your voices can be saved to your computer.

n Voice Editor for Windows is a plug-in for XGworks(lite). To use Voice Editor for Windows, XGworks(lite) must

be installed beforehand.

The Library WindowWhen you start Voice Editor, you will first see the Library Window consisting of the Normal andDrums tabs, each representing the voice type. Each tab lists all the names, numbers andcategories of voices in the selected voice type group. When you choose to edit a voice from theLibrary Window by double-clicking it, the Edit Window for that voice will be opened.

n You can save your settings as a Library file (*.S3V).

1 Toolbar

This area holds the buttons controlling Voice Editor(Page 8).

2 Tabs

Click one of these to view the voice list for that group.

3 Voice list

This area shows all the voices in the selected group as a scrollable list. The name, number andCategory of each voice are shown. You can rearrange the voices by dragging-and-droppingtheir voice numbers to a new location. You can rename a voice in Windows by selecting the

voice name, then clicking on it again to enter a new name. On the Macintosh, you click on thevoice name while holding down [Control], choose Edit Voice Name from the pull-down menuand enter the new name in the dialog.

n To select a continuous block of voices, click the number of the first voice, hold down the [Shift] key, then

click the last number.

n Voice names can consist of up to 8 characters.

OMS Settings (Macintosh)

The Voice Editor software uses OMS (Open Music System) for MIDI input/output. To use the VoiceEditor software, OMS must be installed beforehand.

n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Guide.

About OMSVoice Editor uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI device.OMS is a system extension that goes in the Mac OS System folder, designed to manage the MIDIdata stream (input & output) in a computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI softwareand hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de facto standard of the MIDI environmentunder the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released OMS-compatiblesequencer and other software.

OMS has the following merits:

As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is

no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, youcan avoid conflicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control).

Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, evenif you need to reconfigure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current StudioSetup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new configuration.

You can have different Studio Setups to choose one from, to switch to a different MIDI routing(patches between MIDI devices and software) fast and easily.

Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computeris automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number,port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are configured with OMS Setup, however, you neednot care too much about the status.

OMS can drive various MIDI interfaces, including the standard type (16 channels) and themulti-port type (16 channels per port). If you use a multi-port type, you can control over 16channels simultaneously via OMS.

n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME file included with OMS.

Setting up OMSSetup files for the S03 have already been created for use with Voice Editor; please use theappropriate file for your device.

1. First, interconnect the TO HOST terminal of the S03 and the Macintosh serial port, then set

the Host Select switch of the S03 to Mac.

2. Double-click the OMS Setup icon in the OMS Application folder.

3. Choose Open from the File menu and select S03-Modem from within the OMS setup forYAMAHA folder.

n If you are using a computer with no modem port (such as the Performa series), look in the S03-Printer

folder instead.

4. Choose Make Current from the File menu. The setup for your S03 is now saved as thecurrent studio setup.

5. Choose Quit from the File menu to close OMS Setup.

n Voice Editor is not compatible with versions of OMS earlier than 2.0.


24/26

24

OMS Port SetupHaving set up OMS, you now need to start up Voice Editor and set the OMS ports.

1. First, start up Voice Editor by double-clicking its icon.

n If AppleTalk is enabled, you will get an alert message. Click OFF. It will take some time for AppleTalk to

be disabled.

2. Choose OMS Port Setup from Voice Editors MIDI menu, then select the port settings. In thefollowing example, the tone generator is a S03 and its settings are applied to OMS.

Key Thru: Check this if you are monitoring a sound generator module using an externalkeyboard.

MIDI In: Select S03.

MIDI Out: Select S03.

3. Click [OK] to close OMS Port Setup.

An Example of Voice Editor in Use

There is no single way in which to use the many components in Voice Editor. Although your editingneeds may differ, in any case, the following gives a step-by-step example of how to use VoiceEditor. The Library Window is the first window to open, so thats where the explanation begins.

n In the Library Window, you can open existing Library files containing the Voices you wish to edit, and specific

voices can be imported to the Library Window.

1. Click the Editor Setup button in the toolbar of the Library Window to open the Editor Setupdialog. Then select the appropriate MIDI Out Port and Device No. settings for your S03synthesizer (See the section Editor Setup Dialog).

n If you are using a Macintosh, you will also need to make settings in OMS (Page 23).

2. Open the Library file. In the Voice List of the Library Window, double-click the voice you wish toedit. The Edit Window will open for the voice.

3. Various units are arranged in the Edit Window. First, lets set the parameters for Elements 1 to4 on the Element Unit which make up the voice. Open the dialogs for Elements 1 to 4, selectthe waveforms, and adjust the tonal characteristics of the voice using the filter and othersettings. You can use the graph editors in each dialog to visually edit the parameters.

n You can edit the Element parameters in much finer detail within the EL Detail dialogs. The Element

dialogs are linked to the EL Detail dialogs, so changes in one dialog are immediately reflected in the

other. You can simultaneously view the graphs and the EL Detail dialogs side-by-side while editing.

n By clicking or dragging on the buttons of the keyboard at the bottom of the Edit Window, you can monitor

the voice you are editing.

n By enabling the Compare button in the toolbar in the Edit Window, you can make A/B comparisons

between the original voice and the edited voice.

4. Select the Variation Effect Type in the VARIATION EFFECT Unit and set the remainingparameters.

5. Set the parameters in the SYSTEM EFFECT Unit.

6. Set the Velocity and Portamento parameters if necessary.

7. Click the Store button in the toolbar of the Edit Window to open the Store dialog. This will

store the edits for the current voice in the Library file.

n The edits for the voice are only stored in the Library file temporarily. Beware that if you proceed further

without saving the Library file itself, you will lose all your edits.

8. Switch back to the Library Window and click the Save button in the toolbar to save (overwrite)the Library file. The edits for your voice will be saved with the voice itself in the designatedvoice list location.

n The Library file you have saved can be opened in the Library Window at any time. Voices in the Library

Window can be transmitted to your S03 synthesizer.

nYou can create a variety of different Library files, each tailored for live performances, recording, etc.Thus, you can conveniently modify voices to suit different situations and needs.
